Setting Up Distribution Ledger Types

You define distribution ledger types using the Distribution Ledger Types program (P09J25). For each source ledger type that is distributed within the Joint Venture Management system, you can define two distribution ledger types:

  • One distribution ledger type to contain the transactions and balances for the managing business unit's share

    The managing business unit is defined in the Joint Venture Master program (P09J30).

  • Another distribution ledger type to contain the summarized transactions and balances for all the non-managing partners in the joint venture

    Non-managing partners include outside partners and insider business units that are non-managing.

The system provides you the flexibility to report on the managing business unit's and the non-managing partners' share in two ways:

  • Define distribution ledgers for both so that the system generates the amounts for both in different distribution ledgers.

  • Define only one distribution ledger, either for the managing business unit or for the non-managing partners. Then, subtract the total distributed amounts in the source ledger with the amounts in the distribution ledger that you have defined.
